Wine SpectatorShows some maturity already, with singed spice and gently mulled cherry, raspberry and plum fruit flavors, framed by light vanilla and cedar threads on the finish. Still has youthful flesh and depth, opening up beautifully in the glass to show a silky, perfumed persistence. Drink now through 2025. 4,500 cases made.

Wine AdvocateThe 2013 ChÃÂÃÂ¢teauneuf du Pape is another impeccably made, pure, fruit forward and delicious beauty that gives up plenty of ProvenÃÂÃÂ§al charm in its black raspberry, sweet cherry, crushed flower and ProvenÃÂÃÂ§al-herb driven personality. This was made from 52% Grenache, 28% Syrah and 20% MourvÃÂÃÂ¨dre that was raised in a combination of concrete tanks (15%), foudre (50%) and barrel (35%), drink bottles through 2023.
